American Flyers could probably accommodate your program, they have several different locations. (I have no personalexperience with them.)

Sensenich has an STC replacement prop, eliminates the AD and goes to 2000 TBO. (There may be other STCs as well).

Lots of good advice given. Another very serious point to consider, beyond the nuts and bolts of which airplane, etc., is, how "busy" is your business? By that I mean, you really need to assess whether you would be in a good mental state to safely plan and execute your flights, say, at the end...

For me, though I understand the premise, neither of your reasons are that big of a deal. You get a feel for the flap control, and, after you figure out your true airspeed for cruise, you've already done the mph to knots conversion once. And, for other airspeed numbers, final approach, stall...

Indeed. As you well realized, that kind of darkness really becomes an IFR operation.

I agree with all of the above, wouldn't worry about it. But, you could file a NASA report.

Would I want to fly in full IMC with that panel? No, but that panel is equipped with everything a properly trained and proficient pilot would need to conduct instrument flight (assuming everything functions properly.)

If you're an AOPA member, they have a good series of online course/quizzes.

You really need to 'try on' any of those (or any other similar aircraft you might consider). It all depends on your torso vs. leg length, different for everyone. and different in each plane model. For me, I'm 6-1, all legs, some small planes may be fine for someone with a long torso, but my...

Top bar menu: Products-->Prog Charts- that series, the standard hi's, lo's, fronts, goes 7 days.

I agree, the policy is a crock. (and, after re-reading my post, apologies, I did not intend to come across as snippy or elitist in any way). Totally agree!

I don't like this, or any other price-gouging practices any more than anyone else. But, consideer, the average Gulfstream passenger coming from Monaco for the F1 race doesn't even sneeze at $3000, their suite at the hotel costs more than that per night. And, just like being upset about...

Yeah, I'll (have to) get used to the new version. But, the graphics won't play on my old iPad at all, so I guess that will not even serve as backup anymore. And, I bet there's hundreds (well, dozens anyway) of little airport/FBOs with an old slow desktop computer available for flight planning...

You might find an RV-xx near that price, but probably a 2-seat model. Or, perhaps an early-model strut 210, but likely to be bottom of the line with old avionics and near runout engine.

You don't need anything else for the checkride, as long as your nav/com plays ILS with glideslope on your HSI. (Though you might want to review setup and usage of your KMA 20 audio panel ;))

Something like this. I'd suggest, just start with Commercial, then go for CFI, and see what happens. You can't tell what might or might not come up in the future, but without the ratings, nothing will. As far as income, could end up nothing more than beer money, or you could end up making a...

N135WT https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/345913 Let's hope for a speedy recovery for the two injured.

I'm pretty sure the terminals are not plain round (like a car), they have bolts that screw in to the round base, should connect to ring terminals on your cables. You may need the battery adapter plates, by Bogert Aviation, they are offset risers that help get the connecting point up out of the...

Way off subject, but funny anyway:

Everybody can cut their own deal. Personally, I'd charge double for an airline day (hazard pay). But, seriously, Dwayne, sounds like a great trip, and you'll get some really good experience, have fun!
